Montez Sweat, Chicago Bears defensive end, has been suspended for the next two games without pay after violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy, the league announced on Tuesday. The NFL provided no additional details about the specific substance involved or the circumstances surrounding the violation.
The suspension removes one of the Bears’ primary edge rushers from the lineup at a time when the defense is still trying to establish consistent pressure. Sweat, who joined Chicago from the Washington Commanders in the fall of 2023, has been a regular contributor on the defensive line since his arrival. His absence leaves the Bears without a key piece of their pass rush for the immediate schedule.
